			====Desire to correct the Latin====

			While many claim that Erasmus simply wanted to reinforce the Latin Vulgate, there are many readings in which he departed from it. Below are many voices for and against Erasmus concerning the Latin text.

			In his defense of his revision of the Latin New Testament, Erasmus wrote:
			:"As I do not uproot the old version, but by publishing a revision of it make it easier for us not only to possess it in a purer form but to understand it better" (Worth, Bible Translations, p. 63).

			Rice noted that Erasmus agreed with Jacques Lefevre d'Etaples and Paul of Middleburg that the Latin Bible in common use in their day had readings that Jerome said he had corrected (Saint Jerome, p. 178).

			Richard Rolt pointed out that Erasmus wrote Pope Leo X that his design was not
			:"to contradict the vulgar Latin, but to correct the faults that had crept into it" (Lives, p. 39).

			Boyle confirmed that Erasmus
			:"disclaims any intention to rival the publicly read version of the text" (Erasmus on Language, p. 12).

			M. A. Screech observed that
			:"Erasmus' starting-point was the Vulgate, and his goal was a scholarly revision of it" (Reeve, Annotations, p. xii).

			David Daniell noted:
			:"Erasmus's chief aim was to correct the Vulgate; to make a new Latin text from the Greek that would avoid, and correct, the Vulgate's many mistakes" (William Tyndale, p. 60).

			KJV defender Edward F. Hills noted:
			:"Erasmus, influenced by the usage of the Latin-speaking Church in which he was reared, sometimes followed the Latin Vulgate rather than the Traditional Greek text" (The KJV Defended, p. 200).

			Theodore Letis noted that Edward F. Hills in the first edition of his book The KJV Defended admitted:
			:"Some of the non-Byzantine readings which Erasmus introduced into his New Testament text are unquestionably erroneous" (Ecclesiastical Text, p. 183; first edition of Hills‘ KJV Defended, p. 122).

			William Combs asserted:
			:"Erasmus occasionally introduced into the Greek text material taken from the Latin Vulgate where he thought his Greek manuscripts were defective" (Detroit Baptist Seminary Journal, Spring, 1996, p. 47).

			In another book that defends the traditional text, Peter Johnston commented:
			:"It should be mentioned that the Textus Receptus deriving from Erasmus has a considerable number of readings similar, not to the Majority Text, but to the Egyptian text, most importantly in the Gospels" (Unholy Hands, Vol. II, p. 578).

			Jay Green acknowledged:
			:"There are a few places where he [Erasmus] emended the text with poor evidence at hand" (Interlinear Greek-English N.T., p. xii).

			Concerning the Greek text of Erasmus, Paul Wegner claimed:
			:"Approximately twelve passages contain readings not attested by any Greek manuscript" (Journey from Texts, p. 334).

			KJV-only author Robert Sargent admitted that
			:"Erasmus inserted Vulgate readings into his Greek text" (English Bible, p. 156).

			John Michaelis as translated by Herbert Marsh wrote: “Erasmus has sometimes made use of critical conjecture, to which he was accustomed, as corrector of the press, and has very frequently altered the Greek text from the Vulgate” (Introduction, II, p. 444).

			Tregelles wrote:
			:'In proof that Erasmus at times used the Vulgate to amend his Greek MSS., where he thought them defective, we need only turn to his annotations for proof" (Account of Printed Text, p. 23).

			Jan Krans noted:
			:“As is well known, some verses and words in the Greek part of Erasmus’ editions were not derived from Greek manuscripts, but were based on the Vulgate text” (Beyond What is Written, p. 53).

			KJV-only advocate Bob Steward admitted:
			:"Inspired scripture does not include Erasmus," but he claimed: "Preserved Scripture involves Erasmus" (Biography of Erasmus, p. 5).

			==Criticism==
			Despite the charge that Revelation 22:16-21 in the Textus Receptus is based on the Vulgate reading, the only translatable differences between the Textus Receptus and extant Greek manuscripts are 2 small words: γὰρ and καὶ.
